CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a 371 application of PCT/US2018/036631 filed Jun. 8, 2018, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/517,211 filed on Jun. 9, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel piperidinone compounds, which are formyl peptide 2 (FPR2) receptor agonists and/or formyl peptide 1 (FPR1) receptor agonists, compositions containing them, and methods of using them, for example, for the treatment of atherosclerosis, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and related diseases.

Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) belongs to a small group of seven-transmembrane domain, G protein-coupled receptors that are expressed mainly by mammalian phagocytic leukocytes and are known to be important in host defense and inflammation. FPR2 shares significant sequence homology with FPR1 and FPR3. Collectively, these receptors bind a number of structurally diverse agonists, including N-formyl and nonformyl peptides which act as chemo attractants and activate phagocytes. The endogenous peptide Annexin A1 and its N-terminal fragments also bind human FPR1 and FPR2. Importantly, eicosanoid lipoxin A4, which belongs to a class of small pro-resolution mediators (SPMs), has been identified as a specific agonist for FPR2 (Ye RD., et al., Pharmacol. Rev., 2009, 61, 119-61).

Endogenous FPR2 pro-resolution ligands, such as lipoxin A₄ and Annexin A1 bind to the receptor triggering a wide array of cytoplasmatic cascades such as Gi coupling, Ca²⁺ mobilization and β-arrestin recruitment. Activation of FPR2 by lipoxin A₄ modifies the effects of peptidic agonists, such as serum amyloid A (SAA), and has alternative effects on phosphorylation pathways depending on the cell type. Lipoxins regulate components of both innate and adaptive immune systems including neutrophils, macrophages, T-, and B-cells. In neutrophils, lipoxins modulate movement, cytotoxicity and life span. In macrophages, lipoxins prevent apoptosis and enhance efferocytosis. In most inflammatory cells, lipoxins also down-regulate expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-1β and IL-8 as well as up-regulate expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 (Chandrasekharan J A, Sharma-Walia N,. J. Inflamm. Res., 2015, 8, 181-92). The primary effects of lipoxin on neutrophils and macrophages are termination of inflammation and initiation of resolution of inflammation. The latter is primarily responsible for enhancing anti-fibrotic wound healing and returning of the injured tissue to homeostasis (Romano M., et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 2015, 5, 49-63).

Chronic inflammation is part of the pathway of pathogenesis of many human diseases and stimulation of resolution pathways with FPR2 agonists may have both protective and reparative effects. Ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common feature of several diseases associated with high morbidity and mortality, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Non-productive wound healing associated with cardiomyocyte death and pathological remodeling resulting from ischemia-reperfusion injury leads to scar formation, fibrosis, and progressive loss of heart function. FPR2 modulation is proposed to enhance myocardial wound healing post injury and diminish adverse myocardial remodeling (Kain V., et al., J. Mol. Cell. Cardiol., 2015, 84, 24-35). In addition, FPR2 pro-resolution agonists, in the central nervous system, may be useful therapeutics for the treatment of a variety of clinical I/R conditions, including stroke in brain (Gavins FN., Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 2010, 31, 266-76) and I/R induced spinal cord injury (Liu ZQ., et al., Int. J. Clin. Exp. Med., 2015, 8, 12826-33).

In addition to beneficial effects of targeting the FPR2 receptor with novel pro-resolution agonists for treatment of I/R induced injury therapeutic, utility of these ligands can also be applied to other diseases. In the cardiovascular system both the FPR2 receptor and its pro-resolution agonists were found to be responsible for atherogenic-plaque stabilization and healing (Petri MH., et al., Cardiovasc. Res., 2015, 105, 65-74; and Fredman G., et al., Sci. Trans. Med., 2015, 7(275);275ra20). FPR2 agonists also have been shown to be beneficial in preclinical models of chronic inflammatory human diseases, including: infectious diseases, psoriasis, dermatitis, occular inflammation, sepsis, pain, metabolic/diabetes diseases, cancer, COPD, asthma and allergic diseases, cystic fibrosis, acute lung injury and fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other joint diseases, Alzheimer's disease, kidney fibrosis, and organ transplantation (Romano M., et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 2015, 5, 49-63, Perrett, M., et al., Trends in Pharm. Sci., 2015, 36, 737-755).

Biological Methods

N-formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are a family of chemo attractant receptors that facilitate leukocyte response during inflammation. FPRs belong to the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and are linked to inhibitory G-proteins (Gi). Three family members (FPR1, FPR2 and FPR3) have been identified in humans and are predominantly found in myeloid cells with varied distribution and have also been reported in multiple organs and tissues. After agonist binding, the FPRs activate a multitude of physiological pathways, such as intra cellular signaling transduction, Ca²⁺ mobilization and transcription. The family interacts with a diverse set of ligands that includes proteins, polypeptides and fatty acid metabolites which activate both pro-inflammatory and pro-resolution downstream responses.

The FPR2 receptor binds multiple ligands to invoke both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. Inflammation mediator release by FPR2 has been reported to be promoted by endogenous protein ligands such as Serum amyloid A (SAA) and Amyloid β (1-42), whereas resolution of inflammation is induced by ligands that include arachidonic acid metabolites, lipoxin A4 (LXA4) and Epi-lipoxin (ATL), and a docosahexenoic acid metabolite, resolvin D1 (RvD1). The pro-resolving fatty acid metabolites mediate inhibition and resolution of inflammation through the FPR2 receptor by stimulating phagocytosis of apototic neutrophils by macrophages. Removal of the apototic neutrophils induce the release of cytokines that activate pro-resolution pathways.

The FPR1 receptor was originally isolated as a high affinity receptor for N-Formylmethionine containing peptides, such as N-Formylmethionine-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). The protein directs mammalian phagocytic and blood leukocyte cells to sites of invading pathogens or inflamed tissues and activates these cells to kill pathogens or to remove cellular debris.

FPR2 and FPR1 Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Assays. A mixture of forskolin (5 μM final for FPR2 or 10 μM final for FPR1) and IBMX (200 μM final) were added to 384-well Proxiplates (Perkin-Elmer) pre-dotted with test compounds in DMSO (1% final) at final concentrations in the range of 0.020 nM to 100 μM. Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO) overexpressing human FPR1 or human FPR2 receptors were cultured in F-12 (Ham's) medium supplemented with 10% qualified FBS, 250 μg/ml zeocin and 300 μg/ml hygromycin (Life Technologies). Reactions were initiated by adding 2,000 human FPR2 cells per well or 4,000 human FPR1 cells per well in Dulbecco's PBS (with calcium and magnesium) (Life Technologies) supplemented with 0.1% BSA (Perkin-Elmer). The reaction mixtures were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The level of intracellular cAMP was determined using the HTRF HiRange cAMP assay reagent kit (Cisbio) according to manufacturer's instruction. Solutions of cryptate conjugated anti-cAMP and d2 flurorophore-labelled cAMP were made in a supplied lysis buffer separately. Upon completion of the reaction, the cells were lysed with equal volume of the d2-cAMP solution and anti-cAMP solution. After a 1-h room temperature incubation, time-resolved fluorescence intensity was measured using the Envision (Perkin-Elmer) at 400 nm excitation and dual emission at 590 nm and 665 nm. A calibration curve was constructed with an external cAMP standard at concentrations ranging from 1 μM to 0.1 pM by plotting the fluorescent intensity ratio from 665 nm emission to the intensity from the 590 nm emission against cAMP concentrations. The potency and activity of a compound to inhibit cAMP production was then determined by fitting to a 4-parametric logistic equation from a plot of cAMP level versus compound concentrations.

The examples disclosed below were tested in the FPR2 and FPR1 cAMP assay described above and found having FPR2 and/or FPR1 agonist activity. A range of IC₅₀ values of ≤1 μM (1000 nM) in one of the assays was observed. Table 1 below lists EC₅₀ values in the FPR2 and FPR1 cAMP assays measured for the following examples.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Methods of Use

The compounds of the present invention may be administered to mammals, preferably humans, for the treatment of a variety of conditions and disorders including atherosclerosis, heart failure, lung diseases including asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis; neuroinflammatory diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke; and chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, sepsis, and kidney fibrosis.

Unless otherwise specified, the following terms have the stated meanings. The term “subject” refers to any human or other mammalian species that could potentially benefit from treatment with a FPR2 and/or FPR1 agonist as understood by practioners in this field. Some subjects include human beings of any age with risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Common risk factors include age, sex, weight, family history, sleep apnea, alcohol or tobacco use, physical inactivity arrthymia or signs of insulin resistance such as acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The term “patient” means a person suitable for therapy as determined by practitioners in the field. “Treating” or “treatment” cover the treatment of a patient or subject as understood by practitioners in this field. “Preventing” or “prevention” cover the preventive treatment (i.e., prophylaxis and/or risk reduction) of a subclinical disease-state in a patient or subject aimed at reducing the probability of the occurrence of a clinical disease-state as understood by practitioners in this field. Patients are selected for preventative therapy based on factors that are known to increase risk of suffering a clinical disease state compared to the general population. “Therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a compound that is effective as understood by practitioners in this field.

Another aspect of the invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I in combination with a pharmaceutical carrier.

Another aspect of the invention are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I in combination with at least one other therapeutic agent and a pharmaceutical carrier.

“Pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising a compound of the invention in combination with at least one additional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals, including, i.e., adjuvant, excipient or vehicle, such as diluents, preserving agents, fillers, flow regulating agents, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, anti-bacterial agents, anti-fungal agents, lubricating agents and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms.

Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, without limitation: the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Allen, L. V., Jr. et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2 Volumes), 22nd Edition, Pharmaceutical Press (2012).

Particularly when provided as a single dosage unit, the potential exists for a chemical interaction between the combined active ingredients. For this reason, when the compound of the present invention and a second therapeutic agent are combined in a single dosage unit they are formulated such that although the active ingredients are combined in a single dosage unit, the physical contact between the active ingredients is minimized (that is, reduced). For example, one active ingredient may be enteric coated. By enteric coating one of the active ingredients, it is possible not only to minimize the contact between the combined active ingredients, but also, it is possible to control the release of one of these components in the gastrointestinal tract such that one of these components is not released in the stomach but rather is released in the intestines. One of the active ingredients may also be coated with a material that affects a sustained-release throughout the gastrointestinal tract and also serves to minimize physical contact between the combined active ingredients. Furthermore, the sustained-released component can be additionally enteric coated such that the release of this component occurs only in the intestine. Still another approach would involve the formulation of a combination product in which the one component is coated with a sustained and/or enteric release polymer, and the other component is also coated with a polymer such as a low viscosity grade of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or other appropriate materials as known in the art, in order to further separate the active components. The polymer coating serves to form an additional barrier to interaction with the other component.

The compounds of this invention can be made by various methods known in the art including those of the following schemes and in the specific embodiments section. The structure numbering and variable numbering shown in the synthetic schemes are distinct from, and should not be confused with, the structure or variable numbering in the claims or the rest of the specification. The variables in the schemes are meant only to illustrate how to make some of the compounds of this invention.

The disclosure is not limited to the foregoing illustrative examples and the examples should be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced.

It will also be recognized that another major consideration in the planning of any synthetic route in this field is the judicious choice of the protecting group used for protection of the reactive functional groups present in the compounds described in this invention. An authoritative account describing the many alternatives to the trained practitioner is Greene, T. W. et al., Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4th Edition, Wiley (2007)).

Compounds having the general Formula (I): wherein A, B and C are defined above as Ar¹, Ar² and Ar³, respectively, can be prepared by the following one or more of the synthetic Schemes.

1-Arylpiperidinone compounds of this invention wherein rings A, B and C are substituted phenyl rings can be prepared by the general route shown in Scheme 1, starting from a suitably protected 3-aminopiperidin-2-one 1a, where PG is a protecting group such as Boc or Cbz. Copper-catalyzed coupling of 1a to a substituted iodobenzene 1b or other suitable halo aryl or heteroaryl compound in a suitable solvent such as butanol or dioxane, in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate and a suitable ligand such as N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine, can afford 1-phenylpiperidinones 1c. Additional methods for this transformation include other variations of Ullmann, Goldberg, and Buchwald copper-catalyzed amidation or Buchwald Pd-catalyzed amidation depending on the nature of ring B, using methods known to one skilled in the art for these types of couplings (see for example Yin & Buchwald Organic Lett. 2000, 2, 1101; Klapers et al. JACS, 2001, 123, 7727; Klapars et al. JACS, 2002, 124, 7421; Yin & Buchwald JACS. 2002, 124, 6043; Kiyomor, Madoux & Buchwald, Tet. Lett., 1999, 40, 2657). Subsequent palladium-catalyzed coupling of 1c to a suitably substituted phenyl boronic acid 1d, or analogous boronate or trifluoroborate reagent, can provide the biaryl compound 1e. Removal of the Boc or Cbz protecting group from 1e, followed by condensation of the resulting free amine with a suitably substituted phenyl isocyanate, 1g or 4-nitrophenyl phenylcarbamate 1h can provide ureas 1f. Suitable isocyanates or 4-nitrophenylcarbamates are either commercially available or can be readily obtained from the corresponding aniline by methods known to one skilled in the art. Alternately, the ureas 1f can be obtained by treatment of the deprotected 3-aminopiperidinone intermediate with 4-nitrophenylchloroformate to form the carbamate, followed by condensation with a appropriately substituted aniline 1j. It will also be recognized by one skilled in the art that additional compounds of this invention wherein rings A, B or C are heteroaryl rings, such as pyridine, pyrimidine, thiazole, etc., can also be prepared using the methods outlined in Scheme 1 by substituting the appropriate heteroaryl iodide or bromine for 1b, heteroarylboronic acid or boronate for 1d and heteroaryl amine, isocyanate or p-nitrophenylcarbamate for 1e.

Alternatively as described in Scheme 2, compounds of this invention can be prepared from intermediate 1c by first deprotecting the amine and forming the urea linkage to ring A using the conditions described above for the conversion of 1e to 1f to provide compounds 2a. Compound 2a can then be coupled with an appropriate boronic acid or boronate under Pd-catalysis conditions as shown in Scheme 1 for the transformation of 1c to 1e.

Additionally, compounds of this invention can be prepared from intermediate 2a by conversion to boronate 3b using iridium-catalyzed C—H borylation according to the method of Suzuki and Miyaura followed by coupling of the resulting pinacolatoboron species with aryl or heteroaryl halides using palladium or copper catalyzed processes to provide compounds 1f.

Other features of the invention will become apparent in the course of the following descriptions of exemplary embodiments that are given for illustration of the invention and are not intended to be limiting thereof.

Example 57: (R)-1-(1-(4-(2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)phenyl)-2-oxopiperidin-3-yl)-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea

To a solution of Intermediate 1 in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) were added potassium phosphate, tribasic (23 mg, 0.13 mmol) and (2-fluoropyridin-3-yl)boronic acid (11 mg, 0.079 mmol). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min and charged with Pd(dppf)Cl₂.DCM adduct (5.4 mg, 6.6 μmol). The reaction mixture was again purged with nitrogen for 3 min and heated at 60° C. for 15 h. The mixture was cooled, filtered through celite pad and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield the crude product which was purified by reverse phase chromatography to afford the title compound (11 mg, 34%, 0.023 mmol) as a off white solid.
